Review

Avast Pro Antivirus is an antivirus software provided by Avast
Software, a security company founded in 1988 and headquartered in
Prague, Czech Republic. The company offers various security solutions
for home, business, and schools, that help to protect desktop and mobile
devices from malicious software that might threaten the user's security
and privacy. The company has helped to protect more than 230 million
users from various threats with their antivirus solutions.

Sandbox Environment for Testing

Avast Pro Antivirus allows you to test any file in its sandbox environment,
so that you can be sure not to put your system in danger. When you get a
suspicious file, you should not open or execute the file directly in
your system, since it can potentially harm your system in the way that
you don't know. By running a sandbox environment from Avast, you can
test the file within the virtual environment without affecting your main
system. The sandbox environment acts as a virtual environment that
allows you to run anything. So, even though the file is infected or
contains malicious threats, it can only affect the sandbox environment
itself, and you can delete the file safely from your system if it is
proven to be dangerous.

Smart Scan with Home Network Security

The
smart scan feature allows you to check your overall PC condition in
just one click of a button. The smart scan feature checks all possible
threats that you have within your system, and remove any infected files
from your system immediately. It uses an intelligent antivirus
technology to ensure that all threats can be identified and removed from
your system instantly. And not only it can scan your system for
security threats,
it also has a home network security feature so that you can protect
your network and router from being hacked by someone, allowing him
access to your devices and properties through your wireless connection.
Avast Pro Antivirus can set your network security and prevent any kinds
of hacker attacks.

SecureDNS and SafeZone

If you do a
lot of online banking and online shopping activities, you need to make
sure that all of your confidential data is protected securely. Hackers
can steal your confidential data easily if you don't protect it during
your online shopping or online banking activities. The SafeZone feature
from Avast provides the necessary protection that helps to guard your
data by creating a protective space that cannot be accessed by hackers.
The SecureDNS feature allows you to keep your DNS secure so that it
can't be manipulated by hackers to send you into phishing websites used
to steal your important information. It keeps your router settings
secure and prevent any unauthorized alterations that can give a big risk to your security and privacy.
